Posting to Finland?

Over the last few weeks I have been selling my unwanted clothes and althoughI have been asked to send abroad I have refused but I am getting more and more requests to do so.

I have just been asked to send to Finland. She has only bought 2 items and both have been from the UK with good feedback.

Are there any countries in the EU not to send to and those that are okay what do I do?

It is a ladies top she wants to buy and I have P&P charged at £2 for the UK so how much more would it be to EU countries? That price is just about covering all my P&P costs.

Thank you

    Finland is fine, no more trouble than posting within the UK. You will need an airmail sticker, and put your return address on the back of the package.

    Pack the item, and weigh it on your kitchen scales, then check out the airmail cost to Finalnd by pricing the delivery on the Royal Mail website

    I've sent a couple of things to Finaland and had no problem at all.

    If you look on the Royal Mail website, you can get a price for sending in the EU, based on the weight (I tend to just double my UK postage rate for all overseas and have not been caught out yet).

    I sell a lot of clothes to people from Finland, czech republic etc.. and i find they are better that uk bidders and they always leave lovely feedback. I have more items go missing in the uk than the EU.
